Austrian Felix Baumgartner—a pilot,skydiver and high-altitude jumper with the nickname “Fearless Felix”—has jumped from some of the world’s tallest bridges and buildings.But on October 14,he made the jump of his lifetime from a space capsule 128,100 feet (about 24 miles) above ground,a world record-breaking height.
Baumgartner,42,also broke the record for fastest jump by reaching speeds up to 833.9 miles per hour during his free fall back down to Earth.For comparison,an average Boeing 737 airliner flies at 40,000 feet at 600 miles per hour.At a press conference following the event,Baumgartner said the experience was humbling and harder than he expected.“Sometimes you have to go up really high to understand how small you are,” Baumgartner said.
Baumgartner and a team of scientists,engineers and doctors spent five years preparing and training for the project,called Red Bull Stratos after the project’s sponsor.For the space jump,Baumgartner wore a specially designed space suit and was carried up to his jump point by a large helium balloon from inside the Red Bull Stratos space capsule.
Even with careful planning,the mission had some obstacles.The jump was first scheduled for October 8,but it was postponed several times over the week because of weather conditions.Baumgartner finally began the ascent(攀登)from Roswell,New Mexico,on Sunday,October 14.But on the way up,Baumgartner’s faceplate began to fog up,making it hard for him to see.The team considered aborting the mission,but Baumgartner was able to fix the problem.
After a smooth initial jump,Baumgartner began to spin out of control while still in the stratosphere(平流层),but he eventually steadied himself.After four minutes and 20 seconds of free fall—with about a mile left to go in the jump—Baumgartner released his parachute and landed safely in the desert of New Mexico.From Earth,eight million people watched the space jump event live over a YouTube stream.

The science of optimism
Optimism is a research-proven mind-set that will get you what you want.Here is how to use it.
You failed a test. 1 Your mom won’t get off your case about your report card.You feel very upset,and no one can help you.
But hold up!A positive mind-set matters.It’s a choice you can make at any time,which research has proven can increase your chances of staying healthy,overcoming challenges,and achieving your goals. 2
Optimism simply gives you power.It motivates you to take care of yourself and to work hard—the same thing pessimism takes away.“When we think that something is possible,we are more likely to work toward it,” says Tali Sharot,a scientist.“An optimistic mind-set changes what you do every day. 3 ”
The good news?You can learn to become an optimist,even if you aren’t already one naturally. 4 Because the secret to success is being certain the sun will shine—but also carrying an umbrella,just in case.
Scientists say that being overly hopeful or extremely cynical (愤世嫉俗的) may hold you back.There’s a sweet spot in the middle.The realistic optimists are the people who stay healthiest and happiest,and who achieve the most success.They combine the hopeful outlook of blind optimists with the clear-headed critical thinking of pessimists. 5 Plan A didn’t work?On to plan B!That makes them fantastic problem-solvers.
A.Sounds like magic,right?
B.Your best friend is mad at you.
C.And that,in turn,changes the future.
D.They’re also flexible in their thinking.
E.You’ll feel like you are in control of your life again!
F.In fact,you can learn to see the good,without ignoring the bad.
G.Pessimists tend to expect the worst possible outcome in all situations.

It’s a special experience,from which I’ve learned a lot.First of all,whatever we do,good preparations are necessary.Second,don’t give up and your efforts will pay off.As the saying goes,“Patience is bitter,but its fruit is sweet.”
